are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine oil earth, mauy imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press aucl the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and m every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff iustead, expecting to make money on the credit and «ood name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word " FTop " or " Hops" were used in a way to iuduce ppople to believe they were the same as Hop Betters,. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word " Hop or " Hops " in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeita. Beware of them. Touch none of them, yse nqthing but genuine American Hop Bitters, witlj a cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr. Soule's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. ig^Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits. <
